Receptacles
120/240 Volt AC, 30 Amp, Locking Receptacle
Use a NEMA L14-30 plug with this receptacle.
Connect a 4-wire cord set (A) rated for 250 Volt AC
loads at 30 Amps (or greater) (Figure 4). You can use
the same 4-wire cord if you plan to run a 120 Volt
load.
This receptacle powers 120/240 Volt AC, 60 Hz,
single phase loads requiring up to 5,550 watts of
power (5.55 kW) at 23.1 Amps for 240 Volts or two
independent 120 Volt loads at 23.1 Amps each. The
outlet is protected by a double pole rocker switch
circuit breaker.
120 Volt AC, 20 Amp, Duplex Receptacles
Both duplex receptacles (Figure 5) are protected
against overload by a double pole rocker switch circuit
breaker.
Use each receptacle to operate 120 Volt AC, single-
phase, 60 Hz electrical loads requiring up to
2,400 watts (2.4 kW) at 20 Amps of current. Use cord
sets that are rated for 125 Volt AC loads at 20 Amps
(or greater). Inspect cord sets before each use.
Generator Adapter Cord Set
The generator comes with a 25' generator adapter
cord set designed to provide two sets of 120 Volt,
20 Amp outlets from one 120 Volt, 20 Amp duplex
receptacle (Figure 6).
The maximum load on each outlet is 20 Amps. The
maximum total load on both black wire outlets or white
stripe wire outlets is 20 Amps.
NOTE: Follow all safety precautions when connecting
any extension cord or device to the generator.

NEVER attempt to power a device requiring more amperage
than generator or receptacle can supply.
DO NOT overload the generator. See Don’t Overload
Generator in the Operation section.
Receptacles may be marked with rating value
greater than generator output capacity.
